Iga Swiatek has had a tremendous year in 2022 finishing it with a 64-9 record and two grand slam trophies own.
Her season ended last night at the WTA Finals with the Polish player getting beaten by Sabalenka. It was not the end that she wanted and it wasn't the best match she played either with her coach Tomasz Wiktorowski giving his thoughts after the event. He called it a successful season:
"A successful season, although it is always a pity to end the year with a loss. In top-level tennis, you have to keep a certain distance to the results, and a bit of modesty. Continue to realize that there is much room for improvement and use the time to improve. When you stand still, it moves backwards, because others are move forward."
Speaking about the loss to Sabalenka, Wiktorowski said:
"Today's game was not going well from the beginning. It is because of Iga's few mistakes. There was a bit of a risk. She also did not use one piece of information about the direction of her opponent's serving. This resulted in Sabalenka's advantage at the beginning of the match. Then it was hard to come back, with a good-looking rival, and then with Iga playing a bit worse."
